CPAR VS.RESA which CPA Review Center Yeilds better...

[england]

If you're am Accounting grad, which would you prefer to take review classes and why?

How about other Centers?

[BadGiRL]

None of the above. I don't like CPAR. Sorry.

I don't know anything about RESA. I didn't research anything about it.

I went to ACE. I passed. :) And, the rooms aren't crowded! Sitting on the last row at the back will actually let one see what the teacher wrote on the board plus what the teacher actually looks like (so, ndi ganon ka layo!) The CR's are relatively decent. The teachers are the best. One of the reviewers was my teacher back in college. I actually learned BLT and enjoyed it immensely. I didn't really attend classes most of the time because I was just too lazy to drag myself to Espana.
But, I went in for all the preboards and preweek. I read the usual books that "reviewees" read and studied their (ACE) review materials.

:)

[jellybeans21]

are the reviewers in ACE Atty. Dela Cruz and Mr. Tiu?

[BadGiRL]

yeah...but they weren't my teacher in college.

i'm referring to another reviewer.

Im currently a reviewee at CPAR. OK naman. CPAR is for those who are confident that they have actually learned something during their undergrad years, primarily because they are not like other review schools which are ZERO-BASED. Eh kung spoonfeeding rin lang din sa review eh di dapat hindi na review school ang tawag dun.

Plus... you get to know Atty. Conrado Valix... the Financial Accounting marvel that every Accountancy student knows... para siyang si Harry Potter of the Accounting world hehehe

[BadGiRL]

sure. :) to each his own.

To Aquinatis:
Good luck in the Board exams!

...buhay pa ba ang PRTC and CRPD?

If I remember it right (some eons ago...ulk!):

CPAR - alaga nila taga UP
PRTC - alaga nila taga La Salle
CRPD - alaga nila from UE and PUP

...this could be true years back, I don't know now....

[terepaige]

[HARE]

Most of UST outstanding grad go to CPAR I heard

[mildseven]

well, that young lady from UST who topped the CPA board last May, does anyone know which review center she attended?

it would also be interesting if someone could post the number of topnotchers and board passers from each review centers.

[BadGiRL]

anyway, when u post the actual numbers of of those who passed...also post the number of students who took the exams din per review school. :) D ba?

Do you guys know if these review centers have websites so that i can check? My nephew is reviewing in October and we need some guide. If you can post their websites it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

[curiouser]

my two cents (based on friends' opinions):

CPAR if you want a strategic approach to the board exam (i.e. there are too many subjects, so which ones should you focus on, and which techniques you can use to ensure that you finish the exam on time, and still end up with the right answer).

RESA/CRC if you want a more thorough approach to accounting teaching (i.e. you're not sure your college gave you sufficient training about accounting fundamentals).

So, it all boils down to high highly you think of yourself. If you're confident, go to CPAR. They teach you to study smart. If you need a little more meat to your knowledge of accounting, go to RESA/CRC. They'll make you feel more confident by teaching you some things you didn't know you didn't know (I hope that made sense).

Topping the boards is a different matter altogether. There are too many factors (preparedness of the student, study habits, etc.) that go with it. In fact, I don't think where the student reviews actually matters in this respect.

[ice n friez]

i think kailangan kong magdouble review. sobrang la na ko matandaan sa mga inaral ko. although nag-aaral pa rin ako ngayon (next year pa ko magboard), dapat siguro pagsabayin ko school at review para sigurado ako pag nagboard ako (2 weeks per subject lang kasi namin kinukuha mga subjects sa la salle kaya nakakatakot sobra, wala nakong maalala sa sobrang fast-paced ng turo:mecry: )

mag-resa then cpar kaya ako?

watcha think guys? :confused:

[speeka]

ang hirap i-compare kasi cpar lang naman ako nagreview. pero ang masasabi ko lang, maganda handouts ng cpar sa MS.

and cpar na rin si Atty. dela Cruz (BL) kaya okay talaga. galing nya magturo! ako nga di nagbabasa ng book sa law pero nakasagot ako sa exam kasi nalala ko mga lecture ni Sir dela cruz.(may kasamang green jokes pa haha).

tapos sa P2, okay na reviewer din si Sir German.. ganda ng approach nya talaga. tipong kahit di ka na mag-aral masyado basta makinig ka sa kanya mage-gets mo talaga.

P1/TOA naman..syempre andun ang ever famous na si Sir Valix, hehe.

tapos sa AT, okay din si Sir Valdes. na-enjoy ko ang psa dahil sa kanya.

AP and Tax, no comment.

[triple_J]

CPAR!!!

All Hail Valix! The King Of The World!

[unidentifiable]

ako, i'll go for CRC-ACE, kasi naging prof ko sina Mrs. Casino (Prac1), at prof ko naman si Ms. J. Moreno (AudTheory) ngayon. okay sila for me e, feeling ko marereview talaga ako dito kasi dami ko na nakalimutan sa mga inaral na dati. Marami rin ako narinig okay din daw si Mrs. Castuciano sa Prac2. unfortunately wala na si Atty. Dante dito, naging prof ko din kasi siya sa oblicon and i must say, magaling talaga siya!

fast-paced daw teaching method sa CPAR.

kaya kung confident ka talaga, CPAR ka. pag hindi naman gaano, choose among RESA, CRC-ACE and the like.

[grim_reaper1814]

ako 4 na beses ako magrereview! BagCPARS - ACE - tapos pagsasabayin ko ang ReSA at CPAR.
